Easily the right’s greatest propaganda win was branding DEI as “forcing companies to hire unqualified black candidates” when in reality it forced companies to hire qualified black candidates instead of unqualified white ones.
Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

The native wildflowers that I planted last year have come back on their own this year! Not as many as I was hoping for, but it’s a good start.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

This tariff fiasco is crazy on so many levels. So @hankgreen.bsky.social decided to rank them.
As much as there is to laugh at, stay till the end, because he does a good job breaking down why this is so serious.

I think one of the issues with chasing Trump voters is that doing so inevitably cedes important, sometimes basically factual, policy questions.
As an example, chasing the “border security” question meant that people by and large did not question the “our borders are overrun” narrative.

I feel mislead by all dystopian literature. It's supposed to be a powerful authoritarian government that lords over a cowering population, and and we just need need a few brave acts of heroism to give the people the courage to rise up.
Instead it's just half the country being dumb and mean.

shot, but the sky was so clear I forgot about the cold, I was in absolute awe at what I was seeing. The pinky area a 3rd of the way up the Milky Way is the North America nebula and in the top left you just about make out the Andromeda galaxy.
